Volp is credited on this series by Jerry Bails' Who's Who, and the artwork here, with marked, bony cheeks and mouth often rendered in two short lines, can be found in his signed London stories in Daredevil Comics #9 and 10 (Lev Gleason).
Last panel reads "Next month and every month CRIME COMICS will give you the real truth behind the unsung police heroes of our day." Like the last panel of the previous story, this suggests the original planned title of the comic was CRIME COMICS but was changed to CRIME DOES NOT PAY.

- Although struck down with infantile paraylsis, wealthy Bill Reed, after being put down by a college rival for his sweetheart's hand, develops a set of wings, and, over a period of two years, perfects them and is able to walk again. He dedicates his life to serving mankind: foiling hijackers, rounding up public enemies, and so on until a foe emerges called the Wrench, who had suffered injuries from grabbing an incendiary bomb in the 1st World War, and who threatens the S.S. Atlantic.
